Student Hacks IIT Kanpur Website After Rejection, Gets Technical Assessment

A student claims to have breached sections of the IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras websites after being rejected from an undergraduate cybersecurity program; he posted evidence and a message on the site asking for a fair chance. Rather than immediately filing an FIR, IIT Kanpur will invite the student for a formal technical assessment to verify his skills and discuss the illegality of unauthorized access; no technical details, indicators, or evidence of data theft are reported.
